Chapter 2

Diana's expression changed.

"Diana is not that kind of person!" Nathan pulled Diana protectively behind him, as if afraid I, a woman in labor, might lunge at her.

He bellowed with his neck stretched out.

"That's right! This is the second secret I need to tell you. My first love is Diana!"

I coldly glanced at their tightly clasped hands.

The timid little girl from back then now wore delicate makeup and carried a designer bag worth hundreds of thousands. She had completely transformed.

"When you were fifteen, walking barefoot in the snow picking through trash, I took off my brand-new limited edition sneakers and gave them to you. I brought you back to the Hart house."

"Later, when you got into medical school, the Hart family paid for all eight years of tuition and living expenses."

"After graduation, you said you wanted to work at this hospital. I personally spoke to the director and got you fast-tracked through the interview. You became the youngest attending physician at this hospital."

"Our whole family treated you so well. Is this how you repay us?"

I looked down at Nathan like I was watching a clown.

"If you wanted a man like Nathan, you could have just told me. I would have given him to you directly."

Diana bit her lower lip, her eyes flickering.

But Nathan completely lost it.

"There it is again! That condescending attitude! Acting like you're above everyone, like nothing matters to you!"

"Do you know that's what I hate most about you!"

He began venting his rage frantically:

"Do you know why I chose Diana over you?"

"Because she understands me. She knows how hard I worked to climb from being a poor kid to my position as a manager today! She cares about me and admires me!"

"But in your eyes and your family's eyes, my achievements are just a joke, aren't they?"

"My monthly salary is fifty thousand dollars, but that's not even enough to cover the pocket money your parents give you for buying handbags! A single painting you casually bid on at auction costs more than several years of my hard work!"

"You spend money like water, buying useless luxury goods. Look at Diana—she's so thrifty and frugal. She's the kind of good woman who can share hardships with me!"

He spoke as if every word was torn from his bleeding heart, as if he were the victim who had been wronged and looked down upon.

Diana's eyes reddened as she spoke pitifully.

"Evelyn, I'm sorry. Nathan and I grew up in the same village. We knew each other before you did. When you think about it, I'm not the third party."

The implication was that I was the one who had interfered with their true love.

"Are you done?"

I spoke calmly.

Turning to my secretary, I issued clear instructions.

"First, notify HR to fire Nathan Cooper and Diana Monroe immediately."

"Second, notify the hospital director to come and replace the attending physician immediately."

This top-tier private maternity hospital was a property under Hart Group.

The Hart family held one hundred percent of the shares.

Here, I had absolute authority.

Secretary Klein stood in place and didn't immediately execute the order as usual.

He stammered and lowered his head.

"Miss Hart... you, you no longer have that authority."
